Metro Warns of Weekend Closure of 405
The closure is to accommodate work associated with widening the freeway.
A milelong section of the northbound San Diego (405) Freeway in West Los Angeles will be closed overnight this weekend to accommodate work associated with widening the freeway, a Metro spokesman said Thursday.
Starting about 11 p.m. Friday, northbound lanes will be closed from Interstate 10 to the Olympic Boulevard exit and reopen about 6 a.m., according to Metro, which is managing the larger project for adding a northbound carpool lane.
On Saturday, crews will start closing lanes about the same, but the freeway will reopen about 7 a.m. on Sunday, then start closing about 11 p.m. that night. The overnight work should wrap up before dawn Monday, with lanes reopening about 5 a.m., according to Metro.
